A Swallow On My Neck

[Bluenose]

Just played this song. It would have made a brilliant single, don't you think? His later stuff gets a bit of a knock - but this song is top!

I do lik it Bluenose but it's not as good as that other lost Morrissey classic "You Must Please Remember".
That song is excellent and never gets a mention....except by me every 6 months or so.....

I think Swallow is a fine b-side..
I agree with you on "You Must Please Remember",this is one of my all time fave Morrissey tracks, his voice is in top form and especially haunting when he sings
"Low-lights and Long nights
I try hard to not remember
And you-too beautiful
I can't look..."

I still haven't heard this song. It's on the B-side to "Dagenham Dave," isn't it?

Yes its a b-side on the Dagenham Dave single, its really worth getting.

And I have a copy of the 7inch for sale on ebay at this very moment. (Plug, plug!!)
It really is a wonderful song, along with Nobody Loves Us.

" You Must Please Remember" is not on the 7" inch though.

I always liked Black Eyed Susan.. apart from that horrendous and pointless middle 8!! Spoils a polished tune in my stupid opinion.

I shall revisit 'you must please remember'

Total agree Ruff. They missed the chance to make "Susan" a classic.I can only assume Alain ran out of ideas.

I can only assume that the idea of the middle-eight was to suggest a long period of inactivity for, er, "Susan"...

I don't even think that is instruments playing on the niddle 8. I think it's just some random noise played backwards.

These are the questions people should be asking not the usual waffle about Morrissey's sexuality...I mean who cares about that

 

[Dirk McNasty]

Yes, it sounds like some nice ambient noodling to me. Or is the term "wangling"?

What I meant to add was it's all meant to be some comment on black-eyed Siouxsie Sioux's behaviour during the recording of Interlude, isn't it? I also heard that Reader Meet Author was a comment on a particular journalist!

Pashernate Love too

Yes, "Swallow" and "You Must Please Remember" are top tunes. I also hold "Pashernate Love" in high regard. It could have been a single, I say.
